If you've ever contemplated a piece by Damien Hirst and found yourself saying "I don't get it", then the Museum of Fine Arts has just the workshop for you. This week and next the MFAH will host How to Look at Contemporary Art, a workshop aimed at those of us who have really tried to understand the likes of Hirst and Marcel Duchamp but just can't seem to make the connections. The first session tonight focuses on tips and tools to engage and interpret contemporary art. Next week's session will provide some historical context for interpreting contemporary art.
The sessions will take place partly in the Farish Classroom (next door to Cafe Express, which will remain open) and partly in the galleries.
Reservations are not required but requested. Space is limited. To reserve a place, email: lectures@mfah.org.
